Everything You Wanted to Know But Were Afraid to Ask
- Are you accredited or approved by national staging associations.
Yes!!! We have been in leadership with RESA for 10 years, I was the 2019 Florida State President for RESA and one of only 8 approved training providers. Also, accredited by the IAHSP. Read more on the ABOUT page.
- How long does it take to finish the Online Staging Class? It depends, of course on the time you have available. Anywhere from 4 - 7 days to 2 weeks.
- Do you have a low-cost option for vacant houses? Yes, Soft Staging is very affordable, starting at $600. It stages the kitchen, baths, LR, DR with art, accessories, greenery. see example: https://www.houzz.com/projects/5258989/amelia-island-vacant-soft-staging
- Can realtors benefit from taking the staging class?
Big YES!!! Generally, they will double their number of listings and sell them 4 X faster! YES!
- If I bring in multiple students for the online class, can we get a discount? Big YES! Just contact me for details.
- Is there a money-back guarantee? Yes, for all our classes. After 2 days taking the class, contact us for a 100% refund, no questions asked!
- What have you changed to protect your in-person students from Covid?
We meet at a beautiful Club Corp. property. This is Queens Harbour Yacht and CClub on the intracoastal waterway in Jacksonville Fl. They have stringent protocols in place and we meet in a larger space that allows social distancing. The meeting space is cleaned every day before we meet.
- Is there follow-up after the class? We are like family once you take one of our classes. You have my cell number. We have monthly continuing ed and we are updating our Facebook group - Home Staging & Home Styling - to stay connected.
- Are there different types of certifications? Yes and No!! All classes get certified in professional level Staging and Redesign and get a beautiful badge but the in-person classes get an extra badge called Designer Staging Professionals. The online attendees can earn that badge by sending before and after pictures of staging or redesign results.
- Do you have a staging business? Yes!! Since 2004, we have been staging and designing interiors in North Florida and for 14 years before that, I was an ASID Interior Designer. We are in the trenches, every day, proving our methods with actual staging and redesign clients. Out website says, "We are the Chic Boutique of Home Staging Training. We are Lilly Pulitzer, not Macy's! Not the biggest but the most targeted, design-oriented training in the US. Who needs 100 forms when 25 will do. Ditch the Fluff and get the Nitty-Gritty of what matters most."
